The 11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning topics in this online site include:-


Analogies 

In English it is easier to understand the relationships when an Analogy compares two things to each other. A simple example might be UP is to DOWN as RIGHT is to LEFT. These are opposites!
In Non-Verbal Reasoning analogies will be more difficult to explain but may include changes in shading, size, rotation or many other factors associated with shapes. Practice is essential to improve a child's skill in this topic. Your child will have to select the correct answer from a number of options like the example below.


The two shapes on the left are connected in some way.
The shape on the right is connected, in the same way, to one of the five choices given below.
Chose the correct letter from those given.

2-D Nets to 3-D cuboids.

A topic often covered during day to day maths and taught in schools during shape and space lessons.This question type helps your child recognise patterns and continue to develop their 11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning skills. Practical exercises will improve skill and knowledge if your child cuts and folds a 2-D net into its 3-D cuboid.  Looking at the pattern is essential - looking where the pattern can't be is often as important as looking where the pattern goes.

Look at this example.

The net on the left can be folded into a cuboid. Chose the correct cuboid from the possibilities on the right.
Chose the correct letter from those given.

Odd One Out

How do shapes differ and why are diagrams similar?

If a shape is the odd one out then it is different, in some way, to the rest of the shapes. Why a shape is the odd one out could be to do with a reason or a combination of reasons such as rotation, reflection, its shading or the number of straight/curved lines used to make the shapes. Have a go at this example.


In this question you have to select the shape that is different in some way from the other four shapes.

Chose the correct letter from those given.

Reflections

Shapes seen in vertical mirrors or horizontal mirrors or maybe even mirrors on an angle. First thing to do is look at the  detail. The shape will reflect and move from its original position using what is sometimes called a Vertical Flip or a Horizontal Flip. look at this example.

In this question, a shape is given to the left. The position of a mirror is shown by dotted lines.
Reflect the shape into this mirror, according to the mirror’s position. Choose one of the five shapes to the right that is the reflection of the shape on the left.
